Today’s walk started from the massive viaduct in Ivybridge. We walked under the shade of trees alongside the river Erme. Soon we walked away from the dog walkers & people picnicking & our group of 10 had the trail to ourselves. We left the woodland, headed across fields of newly planted trees & on towards Harford Church & a long uphill lane to Harford Moor gate. We had coffee by the river & lunch was perched on large rocks with far reaching views.
Our route took us through some squishy ground, surprising after such a dry spell but it was a swift reminder of what to expect when this wonderful dry warm spell breaks. Open moorland finally gave way to a rubble lane taking us back to Ivybridge. We had enjoyed another beautiful Dartmoor day but were ready now to put our feet up.
Thanks, Colin & Amber
